    Watched (again), "We were Soldiers" and enjoyed it.

     

    I am watching some of the older movies as cannot seem to find much of interest in recent releases........am I missing some??

    Nope! Watched that same move last weekend after watching Ken Burns "Vietnam War" doc.

    Before that it was "Gorky Park"; "Harry Brown"; "Gettysburg."

    "Condor S02" and "Perry Mason" were OK.

    Watched "Rogue".....you missed nothing.

    At the moment I'm going through Tom Clancy's "Jack Ryan" movies.

    and 60.3 per cent cited people who know that foreigners were trying to create conflict among Thai people.

    And that's a lot of paranoia BS. Back in Oz I was working 7 days a week. Work, home; work home. Didn't even know the names of my neighbours or what they did. Didn't care....too busy, too tired.

    Here in Thailand and not much different. I'm just too busy with my own affairs etc to be concerned with Thais and their lives. If someone wanders onto the property looking for a handout during this Covid crisis...no problems' here you go take this and feed the family.

    Neighbour wanders over, going through a tough time. "I'll clean your back paddock for you." "Yeah, no worries, thank you very much. I'll pay you such and such."

    But that's my total involvement in Thai life. Car accident in front of my house...I couldn't give a rodent's rectum. Kid dead. None of my business.

    Foreigners creating conflict.....rubbish!!!

    For those interested in that part of the world.......The Trial of Alex Salmond (17 August 2020)

     

     

    In March 2020, Scotland’s former first minister Alex Salmond emerges from the High Court in Edinburgh, charged with 14 cases of sexual misconduct

    The verdict concludes one of the most dramatic trials Britain has ever seen.

     

    Throughout the film, They look back at Alex Salmond’s political career and examines the growing rift between him and his former protege, Nicola Sturgeon. As Salmond prepares to take the stand, these divisions come to the fore, and some of his allies allege that there is a conspiracy at the heart of the Scottish government to stop Salmond returning to politics.

    Thank you for this. It's a freebie at the moment on Chaos

    the general reminded them that the Covid-19 virus was not as scary as the illness of criticising one’s own country and that there was no vaccine against it. 

    I wonder how many rounds of drinks in the officer's mess before they came up with that idea? None of them would have been gifted enough to have such a quick-witted thought while alone and sober.

    Hypocrites, the whole lot of them!

     

    Why would Vorayuth need to "come clean" now that he has been officially cleared of all charges? There is nothing to "come clean" about. Well, not anymore.

     

    You cynical lot had a whopping EIGHT YEARS to voice your dissatisfaction with and disapproval of Vorayuth's cowardly antics.

     

    You knew exactly where he was all that time and how to reach him. Why didn't you send your flaming appeal to him personally -- and more importantly, years ago? Why an open letter that he may or may not read while he is still ensconced somewhere abroad?

     

    It's a blunt, disgusting PR stunt, nothing more.

    Well said.
